Davis Pure Planet Poultry Spray, 22 oz

Got this to help with chicken mites, smells good too. It worked, but had to spray often. Slowed those mites down on contact. Digging deeper I learned the source of the mites was actually the wood chips I was getting for the chicks.

So happy I bought this. I got a couple of hens from a guy who had the most egregious setup and they were obviously sick and I couldn’t leave them there. When they got back to my house, I realized they had poultry mites. I needed a combination of elector psp and this spray. This one is awesome! It kills on contact and if I saw any I could spray them and they would be dead. Unlike elector psp, which kills over several days. This spray is also all natural products so I wasn’t worried about spraying it on my girls. I felt the price is fair, it’s the same price as the farm supply stores. Overall I would highly recommend and def think it was worth the money.

I buy by a prevention. So i dont know if works or not. lol i use like once a week. And my chicken are healthy and safe. I hope still like that lol

I should mention that I chose this because I own cats & the standard pyrethrin & permethrin products aren't options for me (super toxic to cats & my cats hang out with my chickens) I've been keeping chickens for 4 years now so maybe that's why I was slow in noticing the signs of a huge red mite infestation; we live in the typically cool & damp Pacific Northwest and have never had them in the past. I still did nighttime checks monthly(ish) and deep coop cleaning every 2/3 weeks with roost & bedding removal done even more frequently. I noticed my girls egg production drop but we'd had a septic field overflow issue & I had suspected that contaminated area where they'd scratch because it was cool & damp & buggy as the culprit. It wasn't until they started avoiding going up to roost at night and were still stomping feet well after dark that I figured it out. I went in around 11pm 4 nights ago and came out literally covered in mites! Nightmare fuel! Another unusually warm & dry summer has made us the perfect ecosystem for these little devil creatures. My girls had pale combs, seemed exhausted and despite that, I never did find mites on my chickens during the day! I spent the entire next day hosing out my coop and stripping it of everything that could be removed. I washed everything with a mixture of 2C warm water, 1 cup cooking oil & 1 generous TBSP dishsoap that I funneled into a spray bottle (keep shaking so the ingredients don't separate) and I saturated every nook, cranny and crevice. Waited 30 minutes and rinsed. I repeated that process 3 times to get mites fleeing from their hidey holes. I let everything dry out then went at the cracks, crevices and roosts with the Davis Spray! It smells lovely and I retreated the cracks and roost ends each evening & every morning there were new dead mites. My ONLY complaint is that a single squirt bottle barely was enough to treat the cracks and roost ends and costs 15$ whereas a gallon of concentrate is 34$ on Tractor Supply and Amazon doesn't offer the larger sized version at all. I will be forced to buy a larger sized Davis concentrate elsewhere as you have to re-treat everything a week later when mite eggs have hatched out. It is a great and very effective product for a very stubborn parasite! My alpha chicken, Carol, laid her first egg in months yesterday only two days after mite treatment and already my bigger hens have better color in their combs & wattle. I used Ivermectin pour on to treat my girls but you can spray the Davis right on them if you prefer!

Helped get my chicken lice under control. My one Silkie was infested. I isolated her, sprayed her all over once. Then again a few days later. I no longer see eggs or any live ones crawling. I also used DE in the coop so I feel like between this spray and DE it really helped completely get rid of them. We went to the beach for 5 days, came back, and I still dont see any new ones! So this stuff seems to have done the trick!

The product works fine but the sprayer nozzle broke after the spraying the first chicken making the rest of the bottle mostly useless until I go and buy a new bottle to poor the remainder of the spray into. I would buy a different brand for this reason.

Our chicken had poultry lice, she was completely infested. First we used an insecticide spray one time and washed her well with dawn soap after. We then had to cut off/pull off all the feathers with the eggs and continued treating her with Davis Pure Planet Poultry non-insecticide spray, for a few days thereafter, just spraying her skin where we'd seen the lice previously. It worked really well and we don't need to wash her as it's non-poisonous. This kills the lice as soon as you spray them. And it has quite a pleasant fragrance. We are very grateful for this excellent product.

It works!
